The most powerful representative of the BMW "New Class" ("Neue Klasse") model series manufactured between 1962 and 1972 was the Type 2000 tii equipped with an injection engine. The new flagship model was therefore the first BMW series automobile to be provided with this advanced technology. The two-litre engine already familiar from the models in the New Class (Neue Klasse) now generated power of 130 hp and assisted the BMW 2000 tii in achieving exceptional driving performance.
